Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla warns that the credibility of the talent mobility system is harmed by unethical actions of a few individuals, urging stricter enforcement and cooperation.
India’s Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla has cautioned that the global ecosystem facilitating talent mobility is negatively affected by the unlawful or unethical actions of a small number of actors. Speaking on concerns related to overseas employment and bilateral labor agreements, Secretary Shringla emphasized that such malpractices damage the trust and credibility necessary for the smooth functioning of talent exchanges between countries, including key partnerships between India and nations like Greece. His remarks come amid increasing attention to protecting the rights and welfare of Indian overseas workers and ensuring transparent, reputable recruitment processes. The Secretary called for coordinated efforts among governments, recruitment agencies, and enforcement bodies to uphold high standards and preserve the integrity of talent mobility frameworks. India continues to engage with host countries to strengthen labor agreements, secure fair work conditions for migrants, and prevent illegal recruitment and exploitation. The statement underscores the government’s commitment to fostering safe and credible international labor migration pathways.
